DMG Blockchain Solutions, a Canadian firm specializing in crypto mining and data center technology, has secured its inaugural colocation agreement for servers to be located in its prefabricated data center units at Christina Lake, British Columbia. The contract is estimated to be worth around $202,026 and will extend over approximately two years, as stated by the company.
The unidentified tenant will operate AI compute tasks and can opt to include secure Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) services for upcoming projects, which offer spy-proof rooms approved by the US government that are immune to digital eavesdropping. DMG announced that the pre-built data centers, or PDCs, are anticipated to be operational by the end of this year. “We are delighted to have secured our initial contract for servers that can be co-located in our PDCs,” stated DMG’s CEO, Sheldon Bennett.
Bennett mentioned that DMG anticipates a portion of its clientele to appreciate SCIF-rated capacity, as the firm aims to enlarge secure data center capacity for “applications of AI related to national sovereignty.”. Following the receipt of 206MW of prefabricated data center units rated as SCIF at Christina Lake in April, DMG is continuing its efforts to expand AI and secure compute capabilities at its British Columbia site.
The Christina Lake facility, situated near Grand Forks, began operations in 22026 and has primarily served as a Bitcoin mining site. The facility has a total power capacity of 75MW, which includes 15MW of firm power and 60MW of non-firm or interruptible power. Recently, DMG signed a non-committal letter of intent to provide 50MW of crucial IT load to a solitary AI colocation tenant at Christina Lake.
The suggested agreement would initially last for 12 years, with the possibility of three additional five-year extensions. The deal would involve capacity being provided in stages. DMG mentioned that Christina Lake would primarily function as a Bitcoin mining center unless a final contract is agreed upon.
Upon successful completion of the deal, the company intends to transform the facility into an AI colocation service provider. Additionally, DMG unveiled initial operational figures for May 2026 alongside the colocation revelation. In the given month, the corporation extracted 63 BTC, which is less than the 21 BTC mined in April.
Concurrently, the company’s hashrate decreased minimally to 1.52 EHps, down from 1.54 EHps.
